Dress up a baked goods box with one sheet of paper!
Tomorrow is Teacher Appreciation Week. I like to do a little something homemade or edible, to go along with a more practical gift....gift cards. It's my way of doing a good balance between something thoughtful and something everyone likes (to pick their own gift!).
At my last Stamp Club, our hostess brought a coffee cake from Ettore's (Lemon Poppyseed and Blueberry). It was AMAZING! She bought it at the local Nugget. So I decided to go and get something similar to add to our teacher gifts. Now while I think the yummy treats are great, I wanted to dress up the box to make it a little cuter. So I took a piece of designer series paper that matched the cards and notebooks we had done and did a little measuring. It was pretty simple and fast to get a lid together.
Here is what I did.
- I measured my box and added 2 inches to all sides to see how much paper I needed.
- So my 7x7 box needed a 11x11 sheet of paper.
- Then I scored all sides by 1 7/8''. Scoring by a little less than the 2'' gave me a little wiggle room to make sure the box lid slid on and off easily.
- Then I folded all side and cut like the picture below.
- Add a little glue and your done!
Give it a try! Feel free to ask me if you need more clarification.
